Access Arts Inc® - The Key to Success in the Arts

IF (Inclusion Fusion) is an a cappella group comprising Access Arts staff Angela Jaeschke, Emma Bennison, Hayley Kitchener, Karen Roberts and Peter Vance. All are talented professional musicians who started singing together in late 2007 as a creative outlet during their hectic work day. The group was initially established by Access Arts as a practical way of reminding the arts community of the talent and professionalism of artists experiencing a disability. Since then, IF have developed into a tight and polished ensemble suited to performing in a wide range of settings. IF perform a range of styles including jazz, gospel and original material.
